00:00:31 --> 00:00:35
			No. Yesterday, we spoke about the mechanical worship
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			and and we said that the mechanical worship
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			that has no heart in it, it doesn't
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			have an impact
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:41
			on you.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			The genuine
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			worship is the one that is coming from
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			your heart, and it makes you a better
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			you.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			It makes you a better you.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			Proper knowledge of Allah and his attributes.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			So the scholars classify
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			knowledge into 3 groups.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			So the first one is the obligatory knowledge.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			You have to know it. If you are
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			a Muslim, you have to have this knowledge.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			So this knowledge includes knowing Allah and
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			his attributes, how to worship him,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			what is halal, what is hamal, the sunnah
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			of the prophet
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			his guidance.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			And this is the obligatory knowledge. This is
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			what the prophet
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			meant when he said in the Hadith that
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			is narrated by Anas and it is an
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			authentic Hadith, seeking knowledge is an obligation in
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			every Muslim,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			male male or female.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			The second type of knowledge in North
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			So
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			the second type of knowledge is the optional
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			knowledge
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			Just like studying medicine, engineering, and so on
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			and so forth.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			And medicine and so on and so forth.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			But the scholars say, once you specialized
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			you are specialized in one of these optional
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			types of knowledge, you have to be an
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			expert in this field. Otherwise,
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			if you are a doctor and you don't
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			know what what medicine is all about, you
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			would kill more patients than Hitler did in
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			World War 2.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			Yeah. It's a joke.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			So the third time, they know
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:16
			magic,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			belly dancing, and all that stuff.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			So, inshallah, I'm giving you just very few
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			examples of how people try to push him
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			a lie, get close to him, and they
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:25
			are ignorant.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:27
			For example,
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			Shahad, that there is only one god, Allah
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			and Mohammed in his property.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			So this person,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			he negates
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			the very meaning of Shahad.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			Someone
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			was not practicing.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			And at some point, when he got older,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			he started to, practice and to get close
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			to Allah and to to make tawba, but
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			he was ignorant. He used to say in
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			his after he made tawba, oh Allah,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			forgive all my sins, those of which you
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			know and those of which you don't know.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			He is ignorant. He doesn't know the meaning
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			of shahab.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			So one sister, she told me that for
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			a very long time, she used to pray
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			a boom like 2 hours before the because
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			she was afraid that by the time she
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			would get out of the university,
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			the time would be made.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			0.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			Because one condition of salah, you have to
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			pray with the
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			made, not before.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			If you pray after,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			you will give them a word, but before,
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:39
			more reward.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			In Zakat.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			So regarding Zakat, for example, there are millions
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			of people who gives
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			after the day of Eid, and the prophet
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			said you have to give it before. Otherwise,
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			if you give it after, there's no reward.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			They don't know.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			And for during Ramadan, she used to take
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			Iftar at 8 in the morning that is
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			like 2 and a half or 3 hours
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			after sunrise.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			Because she saw, she thought that you take
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			Iftar with it's a home when you wake
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			up in the morning. She didn't know that
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			you have to take it before Friday.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			Now this is a song. And Hajj had
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:55
			this
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			So one brother told me that he saw
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			a brother who was making talks around the
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			sacred house in Mecca from the outside.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:26
			Outside the building itself, not around the carpet,
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			but from the outside. This is what he
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			thought.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			So one brother told me he was in
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			the Hajj, and he overheard
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			Ayan here asking him his mom, mom, why
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			are we circling this black place,
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			this, black hue? She said, because the prophet
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			is buried here.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			So
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			the last one is by Shemrit who are
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			making tawaf in in Oman many years back,
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			and this brother of mine was with me.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			And we we wanted to kiss the black
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:34
			stone,
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			and of course, you know, for those who
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			did the Hatuah Omba, that the black stone,
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			the area is always very crowded.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			So I looked for him. He was not
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			there. When I tried to circle the other
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			side, he was there by himself.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			There is the golden door and there is
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			a golden,
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53
			step, a green step below the golden door,
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			and he was kissing it, smooching it. It's
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			it was a lot of the claims. So
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			I said, what are you doing, man? He
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			said, I'm kissing the black stones.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			I said, laha, this is not black. It's
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04
			green.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			So
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			since that thing happened, I always
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			ask him, teasing him, I will tell him,
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			what is the color of the black stone?
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			And he always said, green.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			It's a very tough question. So
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			look for it hard. So the question for
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			today is a brother and his wife, they
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			are traveling, and they are fasting during the
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:13
			day of Ramadan,
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			and they have an intimate relationship while they
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:17
			are fasting
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			during the fast.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			What should they do after Ramadan? It's a
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			very tough question. Take your time. Email me
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			the answer before tomorrow. AssayshAllah
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			at my email, [email protected].
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
